Between October 10 and November 17, 2023

The Fanzineteca of Aveiro is hosting a literary exhibition of “cartonero” books, currently touring around Portugal.

This is a collection of handcrafted books from all over the world, containing messages from writers and artists who work outside conventional publishing circuits.

Among these publications, we find vehicles of political, social, and creative intervention that give voice to those who are usually unheard.
They represent valuable and active statements by their creators, opening doors to a democratization of the act of writing and publishing.

Between October 5 and 8, 2023

The event will take place from October 5 to October 8, at the Foyer of the Vila do Conde Municipal Theatre. It is organized in partnership between Flanzine and Fanzine Ultra Violenta.

The importance of an event like this lies in the opportunity to bring together a community of Portuguese creatives who, despite being very diverse, are united by a spirit of editorial independence. The original format of these publications allows for a more genuine and personal creative expression.

Takes place on Tuesdays at 9:00 PM

The CASCA Drawing Workshop is back, now organized by Fanzine Ultra Violenta.
It will take place on Tuesdays (dates to be announced) in the private lounge of Café Amizade in the Bairro do Liceu, Aveiro.

These sessions aim to engage the community of Aveiro — and beyond — in moments of sharing, creativity, and expression, through the observation and practice of human figure drawing… capturing the movement of each pose using a wide range of techniques.

Drawing or painting materials are the responsibility of the participant.

The session fee is €5.00 per person (to be paid at the beginning of each session)

March 1 to April 15, 2023

The first cultural event opens at SITIO Aveiro: the Inspiring Spaces art exhibition, curated by Miguel Correia, designer, editor, and cultural event organizer. The exhibition will be on display until March 31st.

This is an avant-garde artistic project inspired by this location, featuring artworks, painting, design, illustration, and multimedia, represented by emerging talents and renowned professionals in the visual arts scene, both nationally and internationally, such as Keith Kitz, Névio Buzov, Mário Afonso, Maria Duarte, Diana Ferreira, Sérgio Correia, students from ESAD, Sara Seabra, João Tiago Fernandes, Leonor Aguiar, and Aveiro Sketchers.

All the artists are part of the “ecosystem” of Ultra Violenta and have some kind of connection with it, usually by having contributed their works to an edition of this fanzine.
